Custom Code problem with v4 flowcode

[lewisrendal]

Hi,

Anyone had any issues regarding custom codes.
I had a custom code done for me by Ben Rowland and have updated flowcode a few times since then, why when I place the custom code in flowcode directory I cannot see it ?

The current version of flowcode starts with "PIC" my custom code I had done just starts "custom" , tried using the "PIC" prefixing the name and flowcode would not even stay open, just shuts down when I try to use the custom code ??

Many Thanks

James

Sounds like there is a problem with the custom code file. Please post it here and we'll have a look.

Hi Steve,

Thanks

The "start" tag for the <SetFlash> function is missing.

Hi,

I can't read the "C" file details on the pc at home, I'm running win7, at work I can see the details on xp ?

Don't understand the "start tag" command ??

Cheers

HI.

I thin Steve means that this

Code: Select all

/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/  //THIS IS WRONG!

	cs_enable(cs);
	command();

	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(1);
	send(0);
	send(0);

	if(flash)
		send(1);
	else
		send(0);

	send(0);

	cs_disable(cs);

/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/

Should be like this

Code: Select all

/*Macro_SetFlash_Start*/ //IT SHOULD BE LIKE THIS!

	cs_enable(cs);
	command();

	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(0);
	send(1);
	send(0);
	send(0);

	if(flash)
		send(1);
	else
		send(0);

	send(0);

	cs_disable(cs);

/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/

You can open the c file, like notepad, you just need to choose program notepad to open files at c, or even better download Notepad++...

Hi,

Thanks for that, but when I use the custom code the program "flowcode v4" closes, use any other component and it works fine.

Same on the both computers !

Help

Try this component...

Hi,

That works, what did you do ?

Best Regards

Just change the one row which Steve say, the code is above...
So I change this:
/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/
.....
/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/
to that
/*Macro_SetFlash_Start*/
....
/*Macro_SetFlash_End*/

Hi,

Yes I tried that but it would not work for me, and another thing the display is flashing all the time, the data is working and is displaying, just won't stop flashing ?? I have tried a few displays and they do the same, must be something else in the custom code or flowcode itself ??

Not sure really.

Thanks anyway

Hi,

Forget the last thread, the flash command is all part of the configuration after studying it.
In the original custom code it did work, but the flash command did not, now I know why, when the custom code was done for me by matrix they had the flash code incorrect on the "start" command.

All is working now and happy once again until the next problem !

Cheers for all the input

James
